What about a situation like this: there is an apple tree, and you want to be able to pick apples from it. I do this by having two kinds of apples, one on the tree, and the other in the hand. So, you can refer to 'apple' whether or not you have picked one. The 'pick' verb is global, so it has no trouble generating a new apple for you, whether or not you have one in your hand. How would you guys do this with verbs bound to objects? The 'pick' verb on the apple in your hand would get called, and its going to have to go out and figure out whether an apple tree is nearby, and do the right stuff to generate a new apple. This is exactly what a global 'pick' verb does. In that case you have to first search for the verb (likely finding it on the apple being carried, but perhaps you have some way to force it to happen for the hidden on-tree apple), and then the verb has to search for a tree. -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00207" HREF="msg00207.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00203" HREF="msg00203.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Shawn Halpenny <malachai#iname,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00201.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Issues from the digests and Wout's list</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00203.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00232.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Why have a combat state?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00203.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00202"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00202"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00211" HREF="msg00211.html">Me</A></strong>, Raz <a href="mailto:raz#mushroom,demon.co.uknospam">raz#mushroom,demon.co.uknospam</a>, Fri 25 Apr 1997, 12:11 GMT <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00258" HREF="msg00258.html">Me</A></strong>, Raz <a href="mailto:muddyraz#mushroom,demon.co.uk">muddyraz#mushroom,demon.co.uk</a>, Mon 28 Apr 1997, 01:14 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00206" HREF="msg00206.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Why have a combat state?</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Fri 25 Apr 1997, 02:06 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00232" HREF="msg00232.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Why have a combat state?</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Sat 26 Apr 1997, 06:11 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00202" HREF="msg00202.html">Re: Verb binding</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Thu 24 Apr 1997, 21:46 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00203" HREF="msg00203.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></strong>, Shawn Halpenny <a href="mailto:malachai#iname,com">malachai#iname,com</a>, Thu 24 Apr 1997, 23:57 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00207" HREF="msg00207.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Verb binding</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Fri 25 Apr 1997, 10:43 GMT </LI> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00292" HREF="msg00292.html">Re: Verb binding</A></strong>, S001GMU <a href="mailto:S001GMU#nova,wright.edu">S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</a>, Wed 30 Apr 1997, 01:08 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00193" HREF="msg00193.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Issues from the digests and Wout's list</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Thu 24 Apr 1997, 02:54 GMT </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
